HOA Coverage & Value Beyond the home itself, ownership includes a comprehensive package of services through the $525/month HOA fee. Coverage includes landscaping, snow removal, exterior home maintenance subject to HOA documents, trash service, sewer, water, condo/common-area insurance, clubhouse access, and amenities. Many homeowners pay separately for lawn care, snow removal, exterior upkeep, water, sewer, refuse, and amenities while also spending time coordinating those services. Here, those responsibilities are bundled into one predictable monthly fee. For buyers who value convenience, time savings, and fewer maintenance obligations, this can be a significant lifestyle advantage. Clubhouse Amenities Residents also enjoy access to an impressive clubhouse featuring a stocked kitchen with supplies and appliances, pool table, lounge area, party room, indoor pool, sauna, hot tub, steam room, and fitness room with workout equipment. This home offers more than cosmetic updates. The open-concept main living area, remodeled primary bath, flexible lower level, organized garage, included features, HOA services, and clubhouse amenities work together to make ownership easier, more organized, and more enjoyable.
